GST, from page I for special trips and other activities. Brown also said students should receive letter grades instead of a pass/fail grade for the course. Some freshmen disliked this idea, however. "I think I'd hate GST class even more," said Daryl Davis, a freshman mass communication major. "I'd have to be studying for a class that really ought to help me through the transition between high school and college." "It would just be more pressure on me, rdont want to be worrying about passing [GST]," said Torres. Even without these changes, Brown said he believes GST is an integral part of the freshman experi- ence. "I believe that GST is invalu- able to freshman retention," he said.

It took from the beginning of lime to 1804 to reach a global pop- ulation of I billion. It took just 12 years to jump from 5 billion to 6 billion. By 2054, there will be 9 billion people on the planet, the United Nations esti- mates. Even the population of Fart Worth has • increased by. 10,200 in the last year— more than any other city in North Texas except Piano, according to llie Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Few people realize how seri- ous the population problem is. We can't just squeeze in tighter like a ' bunch of sardines—we have to find a way to curb this growth before it's too late. What do 1 mean by disaster? Try the rapid spread of infectious diseases, worldwide hunger, no safe drinking water and widespread poverty. This may not happen in our lifetime, but some scientists say it's not completely out of th...

Our Town accentuates wonders of everyday life Matt Smith STAFF WRITER John Lennon once said that life is what happens while you're making other plans. That sentiment seems appropriate to Thorton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning Our Town, currently playing at Stage West. On the surface, nothing of great sig- nificance seems to occur during the play's three acts. Milk is delivered, meals are pre- pared, kids go to school. Babies are born. People fall in love and marry. People die. Time passes. None of the characters experience monumental breakthroughs or achieve fame or greatness in the commonly under- stood sense. And yet, that's the point. Life is made, up of small moments but most people are too caught up in trivialities to appreciate life's beauty until it is too late. Our Town celebrates the beauty, comfort and r...

That is my ' rC rough translation into JL* * Australian lingo of a com- ment made by an unknown lady- let's call her the Ignorant One- about my partner and me while playing in a tennis tournament recently. I must admit, it is dis- turbing to hear such com- ments. Allow me to give you a context so I can explain why, 1 am an Australian ten- nis player in my senior year. Therefore, I have been in what 1 cal my second home—America— now for more than three years. This is not the lirst time I have heard comments about my non- American citizenship sta- tus. Although citizenship is not the issue here: the issue is plain and simple ignorance. The comment was made while I was playing doubles with my American partner. However, in the eyes of the Ignorant One, she did not appear American because of her Mexican descent. Thus, she fell into the category of "bloody foreigners." One only has to he...

I have sat back and listened to and read about all of the justifi- cations and lies that I care to listen to and read any more. In his Oct. 27 column, Church haunted houses misleading, Dustin Fockler request that "...if anyone else disagrees with my assessment of this situation, I'd like to see his or her logic." Well, Dustin, here it is. First of all "sinful" in quotes is not acceptable to me anymore. Sin is sin. Sin is anything outside the will of God. I, for one, am sick and tired of... being made to feel wrong for calling sin sin. If you feel bad, sad or even mad that someone tells you are doing something wrong in your life, there is a good chance you have some "unconfused" sin in it. Being told you have done or are doing something wrong is not "judgment," as many would have us believe. It is being held account- able for sin. Feeling like it is no one's b...

The restaurant is located ten min- utes from the Wesleyan campus at 5309 E. Lancaster Ave. Come home to John Carter's Jon McKenzie ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR John Carter's Place is the kind ol" restaurant I go to when I really want to eat. The Southeast Fort Worth eatery has a simple concept: good food, and lots of it, for a low price. The concept has worked very well since the restaurant has been full every time I've gone in to eat lunch and it has been rec- ognized with several awards from local organizations and papers. Don't expect anything too fancy when you go to John Carter's. In my mind it's a lot like walk- ing into a restaurant in small town Texas.
